Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Uriah43 "Lacy Bond" (Sondra Currie) is a young policewoman who is stuck in a jail-house processing female prisoners and she feels like she is going nowhere fast. Then a mass breakout occurs and she single-handedly manages to prevent all but two female prisoners from escaping. Because of her actions she is offered an extremely dangerous assignment involving a group of female gold smugglers headed by a ruthless leader by the name of "Maude" (Elizabeth Stuart). Now, rather than reveal any more of the movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this was a mildly entertaining low-budget film which attempted to emulate the James Bond series to a certain extent. Unfortunately, some of the characters and the script clearly needed some fine-tuning and as a result it just wasn't up to the same high standards. But Sandra Currie was definitely hot and having plenty of attractive young women in swimsuits lolling about certainly didn't hurt this movie in any way. In short, this isn't a great movie by any means but it wasn't that bad either. Accordingly, I rate this movie as about average.

Scarecrow-88 Sondra Currie has quite a role as the titular lead in this cop adventure, directed by Lee Frost, as she's sexy, with mad karate skills, and gets to kick a lot of male ass. She takes out a number of female criminals attempting to flee from the prison, losing only two who were able to free themselves after an exciting, daring escape. She joins a detective squad whose goal is to upend a successful drug and gold smuggling operation, masterminded by a cantankerous old broad named Maude(Elizabeth Stuart). Maude uses female criminals to carry out her orders, setting up rendezvous checkpoints with those she partners with in her smuggling operation and it will be up to Lacy Bond(Currie)and Lt. Frank Mitchell(Tony Young)to bring her down. Phil Hoover is Maude's muscle and lover, Doc, always with his shirt off and lifting weights to maintain his physique. Another ally emerges when Lacy goes undercover, infiltrating Maude's group, hoping to alert the authorities of where the last gold shipment will come ashore. Frost, God love him, fills the screen with lovely women, in and out of bikinis. There's more eye candy than we could ever want or desire. Currie especially is a tasty dish, and, as expected, beds Mitchell when the two form a bond as they go away from the city near a resort to stake out a possible gold pickup by some of Maude's girls. William Smith has a humorous cameo as a karate instructor who pushes Lacy's buttons, winding up with a cut lip and broken tooth in the process! Women dominate this flick as the men often are beat to a bloody pulp, such as when Mitchell attempts to silence Maude's girls, who are trying to ram his and Lacy's smaller boat. You get some lively cat fights, but Currie is allowed to take apart both men and women(..including one great fight scene where she whips Doc with ease while inside a moving army truck). What was a bit disappointing to me was that we don't see Lacy on the street which is why I rented it to begin with..the cover kind of led me to believe that she would be joining forces with a detective team to take out a serious drug operation, and the accompanying elements of gritty characters and street action would figure prominently in the plot. Instead, this flick is concerned more about the toned, fit bodies of all the attractive cast, and little about the story itself..I prefer to have a steady supply of both. I did hope to see more of Lacy in uniform with a gun, chasing the bad guys down street corners, but Lee Frost was more interested in beach, babes, and bikinis..not bullets and blood. I simply expected more from this, truth be told. It never quite takes off despite a premise with promise. You don't really see films headlining beautiful, tough females in cop or detective roles, and here's a bona fide chance I think was wasted.

bensonmum2 Policewoman Lacy Bond (Sondra Currie) longs for more interesting and meaningful assignments than guarding female prisoners. After almost single handedly thwarting a mass prison escape, Lacy catches the eye of her superiors and is finally given her big chance. Her assignment – go undercover to bust up an all-girl smuggling ring. But she better be careful, because this gang is deadly.I loved the opening prison break scenes. They had a quirky feel to them that worked. After the first 10 minutes, I thought for sure I had found a winner. But after getting off to a great start, once the real plot kicks in, Policewomen loses steam. What should have been a wild, fun ride turns into . . . well, in a word, it gets boring. The plot has way too much talk and not enough action or sleaze. The case that Lacy Bond finds herself involved in isn't terribly interesting. I can't really blame Sondra Currie. She may not be the best actress I've seen (in fact, she's downright bad), but she sure does give it her all. I am happy, however, to see that after Policewomen she went on to have a good career. The casting of Elizabeth Stuart as the ring-leader Maude and Phil Hoover as her boyfriend Doc was an interesting choice. I'm not saying it was a good choice, just interesting. Policewomen also features some of the sloppiest editing I've run into recently. Big, obtrusive splices right in the middle of action scenes. It's pretty obvious that Currie and the other actors had problems with the action so cuts had to be made to set-up and finish a scene. It's really weak. The film's final scenes do help redeem the movie somewhat, but not enough to make me call the movie "good". For what it's worth, I've rated Policewomen a very generous 4/10.

Space_Mafune A beautiful, albeit deadly, young policewoman named Lacy Bond (Sondra Currie) is recruited to help bring down a new all-girl gang. This film is aimed squarely at drive-in film fans who like their stories with a little touch of female exploitation. Well, this film is nowhere near as sleazy as its opening credits would seem to suggest so some may be disappointed. Ultimately this is a film that Almost Works: the fight scenes are surprisingly good, there's a coherent plot that's easy to follow and our leading lady proves easy to like as well as easy on the eyes. Yes this almost works...in terms of a serious film... But Not Quite...why? Well for one thing there's a few too many underdeveloped characters. Another is how the all-girl gang likes to spend most of their time sunning themselves in bikinis....also the ending really stretches the credibility a bit too far... Still all in all this is sometimes quite a lot of fun to watch. My favorite scenes include Lacy kicking butt in police uniform when the prisoners make a break, what happens when she takes on William Smith, and when she saves someone (I won't say who) from a severe beating at the hands of five vicious bikini-wearing babes?! Somewhat ahead of its time given the current craze in television for this type of stuff.
